您是否担心由于软件损坏或硬件故障而丢失Apple Watch上的数据和设置？(Apple Watch)如果是这样，您可能正在寻找创建设备备份的方法。在抹掉Apple Watch之前也是如此，因为这可以让您稍后取回所有内容。
但这就是问题所在。您不会在Apple Watch(Apple Watch)或 iPhone上找到一个明确的选项来保护您的 watchOS 数据。因此，如果您感到困惑，请深入了解备份和恢复Apple Watch必须执行的操作。
您的Apple Watch会自动备份数据(Backs Up Data Automatically)
如果您使用Apple Watch一段时间，您一定已经发现它本质上是 iPhone 的扩展。您接收通知、流式传输音乐、同步照片等，需要通过蓝牙(Bluetooth)和Wi-Fi持续连接到您的 iOS 设备。即使是Apple Watch的蜂窝版本（在某种程度上可以独立运行）也需要你有一部 iPhone 来管理它。
因此，Apple Watch通过不断地将自身备份到您的 iPhone 来利用这一点。换句话说，您不需要做任何特别的事情来保证您的数据安全！只要(Just)确保两台设备保持相互通信，这应该在后台自动发生。
您随后对 iCloud 或计算机进行的任何 iPhone 备份也应包含您的Apple Watch数据。但是，只有加密备份可以包含健康(Health)和健身(Fitness)数据。iCloud 备份始终是加密的，但如果您更喜欢将 iPhone 备份到 Mac(backing up an iPhone to your Mac)或 PC，请确保在 Finder 或 iTunes 中选择“加密备份”选项。(Encrypt Backups )
如何强制备份Apple (Back Up)Watch(Apple Watch)
除了自动备份之外，还有一种方法可以手动创建Apple Watch数据的完整快照。(Apple Watch)这涉及从您的 iPhone 取消配对智能手表。
但是，该程序还会将您的Apple Watch恢复为出厂设置，因此最好在故障排除期间或销售前使用。然后，您可以在相同或更新的 watchOS 设备上恢复备份数据。要取消配对Apple Watch，您必须执行以下操作：
首先(Start)让您的 iPhone 和Apple Watch彼此靠近。最好打开Apple Watch的控制中心(Control Center)（从表盘底部向上滑动）以验证它是否与您的 iPhone 建立了活动连接（您应该会看到一个绿色的 iPhone 图标作为确认）。
然后，打开 iPhone 上的Watch应用，切换到My Watch选项卡，然后选择All Watches。然后点击要取消配对的Apple Watch旁边的信息图标。(Info)在随后出现的屏幕上，选择Unpair Apple Watch。
接下来，您必须输入您的Apple ID密码才能禁用激活锁(Activation Lock)，然后点击取消配对(Unpair)。如果您使用蜂窝模式，您可以选择保留或删除您的蜂窝计划。如果您打算再次将其与 iPhone 配对，请选择前者。
这应该将Apple Watch(Apple Watch)数据的完整副本上传到您的 iPhone，并将 watchOS 设备恢复为出厂设置。取消配对过程需要几分钟才能完成。
Apple Watch 备份包含什么
Apple Watch的备份包含将设备恢复到当前状态所需的所有内容，例如应用数据、应用布局、钟面设置等。它还包括您的健康和健身数据，但同样，您的 iPhone 仅将其备份到 iCloud 或以加密形式备份到计算机。
但是，Apple Watch备份不会包含您的蓝牙(Bluetooth)配对、信用卡或借记卡信息或设备密码。它也不会包含您的消息，因为它们作为iCloud 消息的一部分主动同步到 iCloud(Messages for iCloud)。
您还可以通过 iPhone 的存储管理(Storage Management)屏幕查看Apple Watch备份。打开设置(Settings )应用程序，然后点击 >通用(General )> iPhone 存储(iPhone Storage )>观看(Watch)以访问它们。
您可能已经注意到，Apple Watch备份非常小，因为它们主要包含与应用程序相关的设置。大多数其他数据类型（例如您的照片、音乐和录音）已经存在于您的 iPhone 上，并主动同步或备份到 iCloud。
如何恢复Apple Watch 备份(Apple Watch Backup)
您可以在从头开始设置新的 watchOS 设备时或在取消当前Apple Watch与 iPhone 的 配对后立即恢复Apple Watch备份。(Apple Watch)
当您通过Watch应用程序的设置助手(Setup Assistant)工作时，选择“从备份还原”(Restore from Backup)选项。然后，选择要还原的备份。您应该会看到一个日期标签，可帮助您确定备份的时间。按照Apple Watch(Apple Watch)上的其余说明完成设置。

保护您的 Apple Watch 数据
正如您所看到的，您不必特意备份Apple Watch。只需将其连接到您的 iPhone，两台设备上的系统软件就会协同工作以保护您的数据和设置。但是，如果您想重置或赠送 watchOS 设备，只需取消配对即可确保您拥有其上所有内容的完整备份。
How to Back Up and Restore an Apple Watch
Do you wоrry about losing the data and settings on your Apрle Watch due to software corruption or hardware failυre? If so, you’re probably looking for ways to create a backuр of the device. The same applies before erasing an Apple Watch since that allows you to get everything back later.
But here’s the problem. You won’t find a clear-cut option on the Apple Watch or iPhone to secure your watchOS data. So if you feel confused, dive in to figure out what you must do to back up and restore an Apple Watch.
Your Apple Watch Backs Up Data Automatically
If you’ve used an Apple Watch for some time, you must’ve figured out that it’s essentially an extension of the iPhone. You receive notifications, stream music, sync photos, etc., requiring constant connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to your iOS device. Even the Apple Watch’s cellular variant (which can function on its own to some degree) needs you to have an iPhone to manage it.
So the Apple Watch takes advantage of that by continuously backing itself up to your iPhone. In other words, you don’t need to do anything special to keep your data safe! Just make sure both devices keep communicating with each other, and that should happen automatically in the background.
Any backups of your iPhone that you then make to iCloud or a computer should also include your Apple Watch data. However, only encrypted backups can contain Health and Fitness data. iCloud backups are always encrypted, but if you prefer backing up an iPhone to your Mac or PC, make sure to pick the Encrypt Backups option in Finder or iTunes.
How to Forcibly Back Up an Apple Watch
Automatic backups aside, there’s also a way to create a complete snapshot of your Apple Watch data manually. That involves unpairing the smartwatch from your iPhone.
However, the procedure also reverts your Apple Watch to factory settings, so it’s best used during troubleshooting or before selling. You can then restore the backed-up data on the same or a newer watchOS device. To unpair your Apple Watch, here’s what you must do:
Start by keeping both your iPhone and Apple Watch close to each other. It’s also best to open the Apple Watch’s Control Center (swipe up from the bottom of the watch face) to verify that it has an active connection to your iPhone (you should see a green iPhone icon as confirmation).
Then, open the Watch app on your iPhone, switch to the My Watch tab, and select All Watches. Follow by tapping the Info icon next to the Apple Watch you want to unpair. On the screen that shows up subsequently, choose Unpair Apple Watch.
Next, you must enter your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock and tap Unpair. If you use a cellular model, you can choose to keep or remove your cellular plan. Choose the former if you plan on pairing it with your iPhone again.
That should upload a complete copy of the Apple Watch data to your iPhone and revert the watchOS device to factory settings. The unpairing procedure should take several minutes to complete.
What an Apple Watch Backup Contains
A backup of your Apple Watch contains everything needed to restore the device to its current state, such as your app data, app layouts, clock face settings, and so on. It also includes your health and fitness data, but again, your iPhone only backs that up to iCloud or in encrypted form to a computer.
However, an Apple Watch backup won’t contain your Bluetooth pairings, credit or debit card information, or the device passcode. It also won’t include your messages since they actively sync to iCloud as part of Messages for iCloud.
You can also view your Apple Watch backups via the iPhone’s Storage Management screen. Open the Settings app and tap > General > iPhone Storage > Watch to get to them.
As you may have noticed, Apple Watch backups are ridiculously tiny since they mainly consist of app-related settings. Most other data types—such as your photos, music, and voice recordings—are already present on your iPhone and actively synced or backed up to iCloud.
How to Restore an Apple Watch Backup
You can restore an Apple Watch backup while setting up a new watchOS device from scratch or immediately after unpairing your current Apple Watch from the iPhone.
Pick the Restore from Backup option as you work your way through the Watch app’s Setup Assistant. Then, choose the backup you want to restore. You should see a date tag that helps you determine the age of a backup. Follow the rest of the instructions on your Apple Watch to finish setting it up.

Protect Your Apple Watch Data
As you just saw, you don’t have to go out of your way to back up an Apple Watch. Just keep it connected to your iPhone, and the system software on both devices should work together to protect your data and settings. But if you want to reset or give away a watchOS device, simply unpairing it should ensure that you have a complete backup of everything on it.
